Alex Akhurst, Head of Marketing
Originally from Netley Abbey in Hampshire, Alex is a London-based marketing professional with a background in arts and heritage. He is also a freelance tenor, and trained at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance from 2019-21.
Alex likes to wear multiple hats; he enjoys working on marketing, advertising and public engagement strategies for a variety of organisations, and has worked in diverse fields ranging from humanitarian aid & development to local business partnerships and private members clubs.
Supporting the arts - and utilising the arts to support people - are hugely important, and Alex loves to work on projects that achieve these things. In the past, he has created a new outdoor COVID-safe concert series in Hammersmith, produced art exhibitions, and helped create an online broadcast opera during lockdown.
